The (EC) Nudes ‎– Vanishing Point (1994, CD, England)

A trio consisting of Chris Cutler (drums, radio, electrics), Amy Denio (bass, alto sax, accordion and singing) and Wadi Gysi (guitars) which recorded one album in 1993 called Vanishing Point.
Thrilling, engaging and dynamic rock, with the ferocity of the sax, guitars and drums, this album is a delight to listen to. It has all sorts of mood in it; ranging from fast, fun and a bit cranky (Opening) through, slow and somewhat melancholic (Axis), to slightly quirky (Delta) to more crazy (It Might Be Better) and to more fun and lighthearted parts. There is some jazz, , some post-punk, some funk, some avant-garde; but in general, there is a clear frame to the album and songs, a coherence that allows some going wild in a "controlled environment". This is an album that is a joy to listen to.
